“Jagannath Shankar Sheth, a proud Marathi, donated hundreds of acres of his personal land for Mumbai’s development”
As did Parsis, Jews, and Jains. Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy alone did £230,000 and funded over 120 charities…I won’t even do the inflation maths here, you know the number is staggering.
As for “modern Bombay,” how exactly do you even define the term? Modern in what sense? Wealth? Culture? Aspiration? Because if so…
Bombay modernized when a Jew from Goa turned a godforsaken island with nothing but mangroves, mosquitoes, and fisherfolk hovels into a grand Bombay Castle.
Bombay modernized when a Parsi merchant decided to give it its first modern civilian hospital, its first medical school, its first art school, and its first and only physical link to the rest of the country with Mahim Causeway.
Bombay modernized when an Englishman glued together tiny disparate islands into the monolith you recognize today with a Reclamation program that lasted long after he was dead.
Bombay modernized when a Baghdadi Jew built its first wet docks that would serve as the entrepôt for all the wealth that poured into it from both hemispheres in the late 19th century.
Bombay modernized when a Jain from Gujarat turned it into the economic powerhouse that it continues to be with Asia’s first stock market.
And Bombay modernized when a Parsi became the first to start trade with China more than half a century before Jagannath Shankar Sheth was even born.
The list could go on with Muslims and Marwaris but you get the drift.
Yes, Shankar Sheth’s contribution to Bombay is immense…top tier even. But to single him out as the “Maker of Modern Bombay” is just you acting out your personal chauvinism. Ideally one shouldn’t assign such titles to single communities but if you must, for every Marathi name you list, others could in a heartbeat list 4 non-Marathi names in response. The idiotic game could go on forever.
If you have the time.
The Modi regime’s “achievements” Mr Vembu forgot to mention were the sinking rupee, capital flight, stagnant manufacturing, etc. etc.
I also wonder if he knows the company he is keeping. Others who thought intellectuals “useless” included Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao.
This is what happens when power lands in your lap is not earned.
One might get the place on the table due to lineage but one has to earn that position with work.
Will backfire
राष्ट्रवादी काँग्रेस (अजित पवार) पक्षाचे नेते पार्थ पवार यांनी मंत्री-आमदारांना पक्षाला निधी देण्याबद्दल तंबी दिल्याची माहिती समोर आली असून, याबद्दल राजकीय वर्तुळात जोरदार चर्चा रंगली आहे.

What do policy enthusiasts, civilizational thinkers, governance practitioners, and public leaders all have in common?
They read seriously.

🚨 A coach wanted to destroy Sachin Tendulkar's career 🚨
That had only one objective to bring in a few new players and somehow destroy the careers of Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly. He even tried to use Rahul Dravid for that purpose, but Dravid never fully supported him.
Imagine today if Kohli is asked by management to bat at no.5 or Rohit Sharma is asked to finish the game. The outrage you will see in social media is unreal.
The biggest proof of this was the 2007 World Cup, where Sachin Tendulkar was made to bat at No. 4 a position that clearly did not suit him.
Yet Sachin Tendulkar quietly accepted batting at No. 4 during the 2007 World Cup
Also scored fastest 100.
Keep calm and chant on!
Our usual stack:
Ganesha Stuti
Gayatri Mantra or Aditya Hrithayam
Kalabhairava Ashtakam
Durga Saptashloki
Hanuman Chalisa
Shanti Mantra
If you know:
Lalitha Sahasarnamam and/or
Vishnu Sahasarnamam and/or
Skanda Shashti Kavacham and/or
Now start listening to or chanting:
Devi Kavacham or (esp for women)
Nrisimha Kavacham or (esp for kids can listen)
Narayana Kavacham. (esp for elderly/ill)
Always pray for Lokah Kshema. We can be fine only if the world around us is fine.
I hope GOI can restore all the Surya temples(esp Martand in Kashmir) and Shakti Peethas at the borders, it will be bolster security.
Somnath temple is a big piece of the national security design. At the end of the day, Surya Deva is the TRUE king because without his light, we are all done in Bhu Loka. Restarting worship in all Surya temples that have become dormant would be a good idea.
Om Shanti. Shree Matre Namah. 🙏
Hating Haapus (Alphonso) is the new trend among Indians, especially North Indians.
You know the reason why. These people hate your language, your culture, and your food.
They don't even spare the fruits that grow in your soil. So, why are we still accommodating these people?
Mahrashtrian flatbreads are undiscovered treasure trove. Vade. Bhakri. Amboli. Ghadichi Poli. Jwari. Mande.
You Marathi fellows need to hype this stuff more man. Magnificent items.
Hi @airindia have you bothered to inform your Maharaja Club members that if they use upgrade vouchers or redemption tickets they won’t be able to web check in ? That’s what your execs Shivam and Harsh have informed me. Pl verify.
